Soren 🌱 they/them

Seriously! 😭

I'm so happy for you! 🫶

I've been on a similar journey. I love the I am app lockscreen and homescreen widget, the G.L.A.D. technique every night, and I've got love notes for myself sprinkled around my home. Changed everything for me too.

My hand holding a juice box and a bag of Cheez-Its, I’ve got the soft brace on my wrist again

Just saw my stoic, compassionate neurologist. He ordered some neck and spine x-rays, and they’re gonna call me to schedule a nerve test. Had the absolute sweetest and most friendly x-ray tech technician. I mentioned my blood sugar crashing and she gave me snacks. I’m in good hands, very grateful.

Oh man haha. I guess did I have his little brothers’ books or something, Do Hard Things?

Well, you are certainly not this, but I totally understand this kind of feeling. I hope it passes in tomorrow and you can re-remember what a wonderful human you are. 🫂

Oh, you mix the ketchup, mustard, and relish together like a dip! That makes sense to me, cool 👌

Not judging, just curious and intrigued haha 😆

I mean true, but doesn’t it slide right off?

Now wait a minute… you put relish on your corn dogs?

How annoying! Yeah, we’ll probably be in a similar boat over here. Our one state in the southwest of the country, Arizona, just gave up and they have their own time zonen. 😅

The chain of events usually breaks down after step two! This is amazing, well done to them and you

YouTube video by Red Hat Factory The Red Hat Resistance. February 26th. (my response to Minneapolis knitting red hats)

“We didn’t only fight against an enemy, but for something – for a free society, for menneskeverd*, for peace.”

I can’t knit anymore because of my hands, but I think my red hood will do for now. We’re far from alone.

Very good, always happy to hear when someone enjoys a nap

I did not take one after all, but that’s OK. I’m sure I’ll sleep like a log tonight.

Magnificent creatures

Must be nice 😮‍💨

A four panel comic. In panel 1, there are three beautiful blooming roses, and the text says "Roses are red..." In panel 2, there are some lovely violets budding and blooming, and the text says "Violets are blue..." In panel 3, there are some terrifying red and flesh colored plants with toothy maws and the text says "Hydnora are leafless, bizarrely fleshy, and incapable of producing chlorophyl..." and in panel 4 there are some cute hearts and the text says "And so are you. Happy Valentine's Day"

Botany valentine. Another oldie.

It’s amazing that I accidentally discovered that there are people can help with stuff like this just today 😭

I hope so too, thank you

I hope so too, thank you

You’re incredible at what you do, I really do hope and want someone to see that and let you do amazing work and get paid for it!

We’re doing it! Pain and fatigue be damned, I gotta keep going

What I accomplished in the last two hours despite everything:

1/3 of an SSDI/SSI application done
Neurology appointment booked for tomorrow to help me manage this nerve stuff better
Had a good cry
Other pesky admin tasks done

Up next:
Food (lentil stew, crackers, curly fries)
Pass out for a nap

Ouch!! Yeah they sometimes fight that kind of thing tooth and nail

Hope your head heals up soon 🩹

No one will tell you to stop dwelling on the past quicker than a person who doesn’t want you to remember the things they’ve never apologized for.

Pale blue rosemary flowers among dark green needly leaves. Lots more buds maturing!

Two deep purple crocus buds emerging from among frilly reddish heuchera leaves and green shoots.

A clump of purple crocuses with fluffy orange centres, among leaf litter and weeds at the edge of a blue ceramic garden pot.

Pink daphne flowers and dark green leaves. I wish you could smell them!

What a beautiful day! It's been too long since I've poked around the garden... Lots of pretties arriving! 😍💚🌱☀️

It was so sparkly! I really enjoy these few hours in the morning lately where I feel semi-ok, it truly is a gift

So true!

I'm sick of the rollercoaster, the whackamole, whatever you want to call it. I'm bone-tired.

Another crash. Triggered by a breakfast that didn’t stick, dozens of disability lawyers blowing up my email and phone, multiple job rejections, and now nonstop tears because I’m overwhelmed, can’t do this alone. I left a voicemail with a local disability benefits advocate. I need help to keep going.
